<section id="general">
	<h2>General news</h2>
	<p>
		I cut up a green onion and added that to the pancake mix for this morning&apos;s breakfast.
		That turned out pretty well.
	</p>
	<p>
		I think my abdominal muscles are slightly stronger than before.
		Either that, or I&apos;m being less of a baby about sit-ups.
		I was able to make it to my daily goal of ten sit-ups without any real difficulty, so I&apos;ve upped it to twenty sit-ups.
		I barely made it to that goal.
		If I keep the goal barely in reach though, maybe I can stop being so fat.
	</p>
	<p>
		My <abbr title="Department of Motor Vehicles">DMV</abbr> <abbr title="identification">ID</abbr> arrived in the mail.
		I&apos;m so excited!
		Now, in most situations, there&apos;s no need for my birth name to ever be spoken.
		I can be me, and no one will question it.
	</p>
	<p>
		I got in touch with the banker today about finishing my account, but it seems that will no longer be necessary.
		The offer they gave me was only valid for people that have never had an account with that bank before.
		I opened and closed an account with them back when I was in Coos Bay, so there&apos;s no point in opening the account now.
		Darn.
		I could&apos;ve used the $75 <abbr title="United States Dollars">USD</abbr> they had said they&apos;d give me.
	</p>
	<p>
		I tried to get my Discover account updated today too.
		However, Discover wanted a copy of my new <abbr title="identification">ID</abbr> and the court order, but wouldn&apos;t allow me to upload them.
		Their system said the files were too large.
		I&apos;ve explained the issue and asked Discover what they want me to do.
		When I hear back, we&apos;ll see if I keep the account open.
		I suspect they&apos;ll ask me to mail my documents to them.
		However, their website says they only accept original documents, not copies.
		The court kept the original copy of the court order.
		I suspect Discover would accept certified copies, but the court doesn&apos;t just give those away.
		I&apos;m not biking to Eugene to buy another copy to send to Discover unless Discover plans to reimburse me both for postage and for the copy itself.
		I won&apos;t ask for compensation of my time though, I&apos;ll just call that exercises and claim I&apos;m doing it to try to lose some stomach fat.
		Still, I don&apos;t think Discover will offer to reimburse me for anything, even though it&apos;s their own system that&apos;s not allowing me to upload the files.
		I could be getting ahead of myself though.
		I expect the worst, but I haven&apos;t even given Discover a chance yet.
		I should wait until they respond before jumping to conclusions about what they&apos;ll expect of me.
	</p>
	<p>
		My shift leader gave my documents to our head manager as promised.
		Was I early enough to get the name fixed on my upcoming pay cheque?
		I&apos;ll find out in three days.
		The head manager corrected my name on the digital time clock today before I clocked in though, and said they&apos;ve corrected it on the schedule.
		I forgot to actually check the schedule for next week&apos;s shifts though.
	</p>
	<p>
		My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
	</p>
</section>
<section id="university">
	<h2>University life</h2>
	<p>
		I didn&apos;t end up taking the second final exam today.
		I&apos;ll probably take it tomorrow.
